Puella magi can make our own bodies if we have enough charge and the gem's intact.

Permalink

That's cool. Nothing short of a Maia can do that. Does that mean that you can't be killed unless the gem's destroyed or out of charge?

Permalink

Yeah. And I in particular reset on gem destruction.

Permalink

Anyway the Noldor are all boys so I doubt they could charm and magic-song you into being their mortal accessory. But now you're warned all the same.

Permalink

What, literally all of them? Bella asks.

Permalink

All the ones in power. I think their commoners have a normal split of genders.

Permalink

Well, at least it's only the ones in power who have this... magic seduction habit... you think being nonmagically gay will overcome magical mind-altering effects?

Permalink

It's more like what you described Raine's thing as. Making yourself exceptionally attention-getting, and then of course we have songs for making someone deliriously happy in your presence. 

Permalink

Okay. Well, not okay, but I can probably personally cope.

Permalink

I expect so. Especially now that you're warned.

Permalink

Yeah. What a gross thing to do.

Permalink

I didn't think you were under the impression they were lovely well-intentioned people. But yeah.

Permalink

There's various flavors of unloveliness and ill intentionality.

Permalink

And the Noldor seem to collect them!

Permalink

What else have they got?

Permalink

Dunno. The ones I've met are high-strung and a bit unlikeable but that might not be all of them.

Permalink

I thought you didn't meet them since they didn't come to Doriath and you can't go to the border.

Permalink

There are four or five who've earned leave to live in Doriath. That's how I know most of the things I know about them.

Permalink

How'd they earn it?

Permalink

They weren't involved in the Kinslaying and listened to my father's dictates about how they could settle and where in order to not be disruptive or controlling of local populations, and they happened to get along with my parents.

Permalink

Why is it called 'Kinslaying'?

Permalink

Because it was people murdering their own cousins, their own brothers, people whose children they'd watched grow up, people they'd known for centuries...

Permalink

I suppose that's considered a particularly horrifying feature of the Civil War too.

Permalink

Civil war?

Permalink

Like a century and a half ago half of this country - as it stood then, it's bigger now, where we are wasn't even in it yet - tried to secede from the other half for complicated economic reasons but mostly so they could continue to practice slavery without interference, and the other half objected, and there was a war.
